The End of the Jews: A Novel
by Adam Mansbach
We will also take a trip to hear Adam Mansbach speak at the Museum of Jewish Heritage on Sunday\, February 21 at 2:30 pm. The cost is $5. Please contact Libby at the email below if interested.
Each member of the mercurial clan in Adam Mansbach&rsquo\;s bold new novel faces the impossible choice between the people they love and the art that sustains them. Tristan Brodsky\, sprung from the asphalt of the depression-era Bronx\, goes on to become one of the swaggering Jewish geniuses who remakes American culture while slowly suffocating his poet wife\, who harbors secrets of her own. Nina Hricek\, a driven young Czech photographer escapes from behind the Iron Curtain with a group of black musicians only to find herself trapped yet again\, this time in a doomed love affair. And finally\, Tris Freedman\, grandson of Tristan and lover of Nina\, a graffiti artist and unanchored revolutionary\, cannibalizes his family history to feed his muse. In the end\, their stories converge and the survival of each requires the sacrifice of another.

This week's class will be taught by Avram Sand and it is entitled\, &ldquo\;Is This Night Different From All Others? Competing Passover Narratives&rdquo\;
The Rabbinic sources are unanimous in their requirement that the Seder include extensive discussion. But is the Seder about Passover's unique laws and practices or is it a night for focusing on the Exodus from Egypt? In this session\, we will uncover these two competing narratives\, discuss the different values they reflect\, and explore how they endure in our own contemporary Seders.
Avram Sand is the Program Coordinator of Mechon Hadar. \; He recently graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in East Asian Studies. \; He was a fellow at Yeshivat Hadar in 2008.

Few texts in the history of Judaism have been as evocative\, elusive\, and controversial as Genesis 22\, the story of the Akedah. \; Why does God ask Abraham to sacrifice his son\, and why does Abraham agree? What are the consequences of this fateful event for Abraham\, Isaac\, and Sarah -- and for us as readers and students of this text? \;
We'll begin with a close literary and theological exploration of the Biblical text itself\, consider the interpretations of Hazal\, and then create a multifaceted conversation among an array of modern Jewish (and Christian) thinkers as they -- and we -- struggle to make sense of this text and its role in Jewish theology and spirituality. \;
Our investigation will include such thinkers as Soren Kierkegaard\, Abraham Isaac Kook\, Joseph Soloveitchik\, Yeshayahu Leibowitz\, Abraham Joshua Heschel\, Martin Buber\, Phyllis Trible\, Uriel Simon\, Jon Levenson\, and others.
When: Wednesdays\, 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm (2/10\, 2/24\, 3/3)
